We also need to understand the extent towhich negative associations with reflection may result from unintended consequences ofreflection activities in higher education. Knowing more about students’ perspectives onreflection can help us be effective educators and also more responsible, ethical educators.In this work we sought to understand undergraduate students’ perspectives on reflection,specifically the types of engagements they have had with reflection. In our analysis we identifymeanings in motion, varied practices, felt engagements and a school-life divide as important forunderstanding students’ perspectives.Related workReflection can be understood as a form of thinking

Yet, 21st centuryskills have been embraced by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)and are included in the standards for engineering programs [15]. The 21st century skills includecollaboration and teamwork, creativity, communication, emotional competency, culturalcompetency, ethics, leadership and management, critical thinking, and content knowledge. Afundamental shift in the ABET engineer paradigm with the adoption of the 21st centuryframework reflects a focus on engineers as being at the service to society.

Yet, thepressure to be the upholders of cultural practices in engineering can interrupt the cultivation oftheir emerging identities that integrate politics with engineering. Students should be afforded aspace where they can co-create meaning between their emerging identities and, introspectively,synthesize a transparent view of the ethical role and relationship that engineering has to society.Our work begins to highlight some of the challenges of pushing against the current culture ofengineering and re-politicizing the engineering

Students were divided into teams, where eachteam had 3 to 4 students. We designed a semester-long study, where students submitted theirreflection after each lecture individually.
